New Jersey’s The View From Here bursts into 2022 with their heavy hitting new single and video in tow, “Nostalgia.” Since the inception of the band, they’ve kept true to their roots; writing and performing music that’s fun for them to play, and even more fun for audiences to watch. At their core, The View From Here has steadily had a focus on writing music that was interesting enough for them to go full steam ahead with their musical endeavors.

Throughout the years with the band appreciating a wider range of music beyond rock and metal, they had developed a bit of taste for Pop and Rap music, as they shifted to incorporate all of the music they enjoy. 

“Nostalgia is a song that’s meant to bring back the vibe of early 2000s emo/pop punk while giving a breath of fresh air into the genre with driving guitars and modern synths. The vocals are very much a nod to early pop punk and the lyrics tell of a simpler youthful time where one could just live in the moment and treasure being young. The song’s message is one of longing to bring out one’s inner child during the inevitable transition into adulthood.” – The View From Here

Quinn Vicario also known as Jasper, is an American rapper from Texas. Jasper is the Founder and CEO of PROPHECY Records, created in 2018 with Olegario Garcia, and Nick Bell in Texas. Jasper’s recent release of “Notice Me” (2021) and “Joy In Comparison” (2022) has sold thousands of copies in under a month of their release.  By 2022, “Jasper” (2019) reached over 15,000, and is his number one charted song.

New single “Won’t Let Go” states that no matter how difficult the road is, he will not let go of his passions or dreams. 

Toronto-based ‘nearly instrumental’ group, The Henrys, were confronted with a ‘singer supply chain issue’ during the pandemic, leading Don Rooke, who formerly ‘spoke’ with guitars, to focus on singing and lyrics.

The result of this period is the band’s new LP, Shrug, which examines introspection while continuing to actively occupy The Henrys’ unique musical space between genres including folk, roots, jazz, and pop.

Shrug features “A Night Beyond Repair,” which charts a kind of longing and feeling of searching through different stages of life. Rooke describes its inspiration coming from “feelings about the American south, the Canadian north, the environment, life/work, and ending up in the right place.”

The song glides along with a soft spoken vocal, languid guitars, and tumbling drums, experimenting with a quasi-psychedelic feeling through its instrumental sections. 

It’s hard not to do what you love. Kim Ho, born in Montreal, knows that all too well. In 2012, he was having a blast trotting the globe while fronting his alt-dance pop band, Creature. Nominated for a JUNO Award, the band recorded their second album in London with a big time American producer, only for the label to decide not to release it.

Kim unveils his self-titled debut album under the name Apollo Lovely on June 10, 2022. Combining the old school soul and R&B that Kim loved as a kid, with his previous band’s pop sensibility, Apollo Lovely is the cool older brother; smoother, and just a little more laid back. The music has an upbeat and sultry swagger that is perhaps a reflection of Kim’s new found confidence and freedom as an independent artist.

The latest single, “Next To You,” is about the protagonist sitting next to the beautiful woman initially spotted across the room in a crowded bar, hitting it off and falling head over heels. But, this is a fantasy, later revealed to be an imagined love which can sometimes feel just as real.

JULIANA EYE is an alt-pop artist, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist based out of Toronto. Her obsession with pop melodies, 90s & early-00s guitar tones, paired with a mesmerizing voice has given EYE’s sound a unique blend of nostalgia and melancholy. 

Ethereal new single, “Dreaming,” is a lush and evocative rendition of the 1970’s Blondie hit; fusing subtle hints of new wave synth textures, dreamy guitars, and alluring vocals.

With nods to Blondie videos and Debbie Harry’s style, the “Dreaming” video mimics being in a dream-like state. Slow-motion performance shots are intercut with vignettes of everyday objects used in an abstract way.

Olivia Pasqueralli, a.k.a. Baby O, is a Toronto-based queer musician. So far, she has released a handful of singles such as “Love Letter,” “Fast Lane,” and “29,” which have garnered attention from CBC Music and Exclaim!

Now, she’s back with her feel-good anthem, “N.G.B.,” written about her experience growing up queer in an Italian-Canadian Catholic family. It’s a playful and proud song for folks who might be experiencing a lot of self-doubt or are uncertain about their future. 

“There’s a common pattern in my life – and probably in the lives of many women, femmes, and queers in general – sacrificing our own joy just to be pleasant and not abrasive to others,” said Baby O.
